Ratings System
An ongoing rating system similar to the USATT system is used to record league standings and determine handicaps for handicap tournaments. Each player’s rating is adjusted after each game, depending on who won and the difference between the opponent’s rating and their own:
| Rating Difference | Win | Lose |
|---|---|---|
| +500 or more | +60 | -1 |
| +400 to +500 | +50 | -2 |
| +300 to +400 | +40 | -3 |
| +200 to +300 | +30 | -5 |
| +100 to +200 | +25 | -10 |
| -100 to +100 | +20 | -20 |
| -100 to -200 | +10 | -25 |
| -200 to -300 | +5 | -30 |
| -300 to -400 | +3 | -40 |
| -400 to -500 | +2 | -50 |
| -500 or more | +1 | -60 |
Ratings are calculated using the ePonger table tennis league management software program written by Jeff Pepper.
